[Narrative Intro] In a long, quiet line, someone waits, Feet stay still as the moment takes shape. Eyes look forward, hands stay calm, Patience begins when we pause and stand. [Verse 1] I see a toy that I want to try, It’s right there, shining by my side. My body wants to rush right through, But I take a breath — I know what to do. I feel my feet on the floor below, I count to four and I move real slow. I watch my friends and I start to learn, Good things happen when I wait my turn. [Pre-Chorus] I can wait, yes I can, Hands to myself, here I stand. Being patient helps us all, I wait my turn — I stand tall. [Chorus] Waiting my turn, I can do it right, I wait with kindness, calm and polite. No pushing ahead, no rushing through, Waiting my turn is the kind thing to do. Waiting my turn, I smile and learn, Everybody wins when I wait my turn. [Verse 2] In the classroom, hands go up, We listen close, we don’t interrupt. Someone’s talking, so I stay still, I’ll have my chance — I know I will. At the slide or in a game, Waiting feels fair, it feels the same. When it’s my turn, I feel so proud, Because I waited calm and sound. [Pre-Chorus] I breathe in slow, I breathe out too, Waiting my turn helps me and you. I can wait, I don’t rush, Patience grows when I trust. [Chorus] Waiting my turn, I can do it right, I wait with kindness, calm and polite. No pushing ahead, no rushing through, Waiting my turn is the kind thing to do. Waiting my turn, I smile and learn, Everybody wins when I wait my turn. [Bridge – Call & Response] If I want to go first — I wait! If I feel excited — I wait! If it’s hard and I feel unsure — I breathe real deep… and I wait some more. Patience helps my heart stay calm, I count, I pause, I stay strong. [Verse 3] Waiting isn’t easy every day, But it helps us all get along this way. Friends feel happy, teachers too, When we wait our turn — me and you. I don’t have to rush or race, Everyone gets their special space. When my moment finally comes, I’m ready, steady — here I run! [Final Chorus] Waiting my turn, I did my best, Calm and patient — I passed the test. I stood still, I stayed kind, Waiting my turn helps every time. Waiting my turn, I’m proud to say, I practiced patience today! [Outro] So next time I wait, I’ll remember this song, Being patient helps us all belong.
